Incompressible Navier-Stokes and Euler Limits of the Boltzmann Equation

Abstract

The Boltzmann Equation (BE) describes the time evolution of the positional and velocity density of a gas. An old question is the relation of the Boltzmann equation to the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics. (KR)
